United States East Coast Cruises

There was a time that travel between the continents was done aboard a ship, either a sailing vessel or a large passenger ocean liner. Today you take destination cruises aboard what are basically floating huge party hotels, unable to enjoy the scenery around you. Return to the ocean and take a United States East Coast cruise. See sites that the floating hotels can't by sailing in the coastal waters on smaller boats. Visit historic ports and enjoy the beauty of the Atlantic coastline.

    • Begin your cruise in Baltimore and sail the Chesapeake Bay, visiting the historic sites of Yorktown, Williamsburg, Crisfield and Tangier Island, Virginia; and Solomon's Island, Cambridge, Oxford, Saint Michaels and Annapolis, Maryland.

Sail upon the Independence, American Cruise Lines' newest ship in 2010 with a total passenger capacity of 104.
